"I'll show you mine, if you show me yours first, let's compare scars"

Flowers scent the air. Your hand in mine, intertwining like the leaves of a tree. You whisper secrets into the air, pungent with untold stories. Of faraway places, of dreams, of beginnings, of things you hope to be. But dark pasts contaminate these dreams, as you and i both know. Shadows never leaving- but for now far gone. I lean into you, feel you surround me with your warmth. And i know that this is where i want to be. Need to be, forever. Me and you... And then i wake up. To the emptiness, alone. But i smile, because i remember what was. I know what will be.
